How to download videos from the iTunes Store

1. Open the iTunes Store app.

2. Find the video (a movie or TV show) that you want to download. Note that there are tabs at the bottom of the screen to browse movies and TV shows, and you can use the search bar at the top right to look for something by name.

3. When you find the video you want to download, tap it and then tap the price. (If the item is free, instead of a price it will simply say "Get.") Also, note that for a TV series, you can buy the entire season or individual episodes.

4. iTunes may ask you to authorize the purchase by entering your password or using Face ID or Touch ID.

5. After the purchase is complete, your iPad may display a dialog box asking if you want to download the video. If so, tap "Download."

6. If it doesn't automatically download, you can tap the cloud icon where the price used to be.

7. After the download is complete, tap "Purchased" at the bottom of the screen.

8. Find the video you downloaded (it might be helpful to show only Movies or TV Shows using the buttons at the top of the screen) and tap it to play.

The Purchased page keeps track of all the video you’ve bought and stored on your iPad. Dave Johnson/Business Insider

How to download videos from a streaming service like Netflix

Some streaming services — including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video — let you download video in addition to streaming it. Unfortunately, not all services allow you to download video, so this might not work with services like Hulu and HBO. You can download YouTube videos to your iPad if you subscribe to YouTube Premium.

1. Open your streaming video app, like Netflix.

2. Find the video that you want to download and go to the Details page, where you can see a list of all the episodes in the season or additional information about the movie.

3. Tap the Download button, which is shaped like a downward-pointing arrow.
